The conjunction of dating apps and Vemno created a new form of dating fraud. Two people connect on a dating app, they really hit it off, things are going fantastic, and they finally decide to meet. The dude says, “Look, there’s this really cool musical / opera / ballet / museum exhibit / contemporary dance performance, etc. What a great venue for our first date since we both love musicals / opera / ballet / museum exhibits / contemporary dance performances. Only, do you mind, because it’s our first date, and the tickets are kind of expensive, do you mind if we split the cost?”
The woman feels too shy to say she wants the dude to pay, so she agrees.
“That’s great,” says the dude. “OK, I bought the tickets! You can Venmo me your half of the price right now.”
With the use of AI, this gets mass-marketed in a major way.
